One of the most influential scholars of the Renaissance, Pietro Bembo (14701547) gained fame not only for his literary theory and poetry, but for his incredible collection of art and antiquities. Drawing on anecdotes from Bembos letters and unpublished archival material, Susan Nalezyty analyzes how Bembos collection functioned as a source of inspiration for artists like Titian and writers like Giovanni della Casa. As visitors to the collection marveled at the quality and variety of the displayed objects, Bembo encouraged investigations into the ways in which contemporary art compared with ancient objects. Often straddling the line between the visual and literary worlds, these critical discussions catalyzed artistic experiments that led to new modes of creative expression. This generously illustrated volume brings Bembos collection to life and reveals its key role in the development of Renaissance artistic philosophy and historical study of the classical past.
